Installing Front Wing

Information 

• Adjust gap dimensions on lid and accessories in accordance with the gap specifications. 
• Given a clearance in the opening that is too great or too small, the accessories must be centred with respect to the body. 
• Ensure that the gaps do not run in a wedge-shaped fashion or do not narrow at local points. 
• The given values are guidelines, which should be observed as far as possible. 
• The guidelines apply to repair work and assembly work. 
• Use star gauges to check the gap dimensions.  > VAS 6937 - Adjusting gauge
